PRE-HEATER™
EXPLANATION OF THE REVOLUTIONARY
NEW MUELLER “FRE-HEATER™”
FOR THE DAIRY FARM
Bulk milk coolers on modern dairy farms remove heat from
the milk promptly after it is produced. To accomplish this
requires refrigeration machines and they are generally of
the air-cooled type. Air-cooled condensing units literally
“throw away" this valuable heat
On these same farms, large amounts of hot water are need
ed for “prepping” the cows, washing the milk cooler, the
pipeline milker, other equipment, and the milking parlor
itself. It is also advantageous to heat the cows' drinking
water in winter
The Mueller Fre-Heater conserves energy and provides
“free” hot water by capturing the heat now wasted!
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS
Rather than using noisy, dust-creating fans with fragile,
dirt collecting air-cooled condensers, the refrigerant is
routed to a specially designed condenser/heat exchanger
and its heat is transferred to the water.
A thermostatically controlled valve delivers 145° F water
to the storage lank
In addition to the thermostatic valve, a mixing valve is pro
vided to permit “prepping" temperature water
Thus, the Fre-Heater delivers two temperatures of water
prepping and washing
Tests indicate the Fre-Heater consumes 10% less power
than an air-cooled system . . . and you get Free Hot Water!
ELIMINATES REFRIGERATION SERVICE PROBLEMS!
The most common causes of slow cooling in bulk milk
cooling systems are related to the air-cooled condenser
Three things which frequently reduce the efficiency are
1. Poor air circulation and recirculation
2. Fan motor failures
3. Dirty or clogged condenser fins
Air-cooled condensing units are generally installed out of
doors in order to assure adequate air supply to the con
denser. This exposes the compressor to extreme ambient
temperatures. Starting problems and compressor failures
have resulted and air-cooled condenser units are always
noisy
The Fre-Heater eliminates these problems because:
• There is no air-cooled condenser.
• The Fre-Heater is installed indoors
• There are no fans to generate noise.
• The head pressure is very stable assuring longer
compressor life.
• There are no cold weather starting problems, plus
... the Fre-Heater conserves energy and produces
Free Hot Water!

LANCASTER - Cathy
Brubaker, 345 Running
Pump Road, is leaving for
Chicago on November 26 and
she’s not coming home until
nine days later. During that
time, she will be staying at
the Conrad Hilton Inn with
all expenses piad, and she
may receive $BOO on top of
that, to boot.
Surprisingly enough, she
hasn’t won the Pennsylvania
lottery or made her claim to
fame on a T.V. quiz show.
Instead, she’s worked hard
for every inch of this dream
come-true.
Cathy is Lancaster
County’s first 4-H seam
stress to win in state com
petition, and thus represent
Pennsylvania in the National
4-H Dress Revue during the
National 4-H Congress in
Chicago.
“I’m so excited to see it,”
she says, putting the em
phasis on “so.” What is the
biggest draw for her is
meeting 49 other girls from
all the states in the union
who “went through the same
things I did.”
Not overstating the issue,
Cathy does admit that the
competition to get this far
was tough.
“We have excellent sewers
in Lancaster County,” she
says, while mentioning that
the competition was par
ticularly stiff on the county
level, but that the stress was
more severe at the state
competition.
“During states, I had to
look my best and be at my

beat the whole time,” she
explains. And after a whole
day’s worth of being judged
and standing in lines to be
judged, it gets a little dif
ficult to be perfect.
She explains her success
by saying, “I just happened
to be lucky. There were so
many nice outfits, and I just
happened to have the one
that caught the judges’
eyes.”
Although Cathy fosters
this realistic philosophy on
competition and judging, she
also knows that she spent
countless hours perfecting
her denim suit and that she
did her best. So, when state
competition came along, she
just presented her completed
project and “tried to be
myself.”
She obviously handled
herself well, because after
going through a battery of
three professional judges -
one for construction, one for
fit, and one for modeling -
and a group of 10 of v er peers
in “circle judging,” she
came out on top. Yet, she
didn’t believe it until she
actually heard her name
announced, because,
although the top seam
stresses had been announced
on Tuesday night, their in
dividual placings were kept
a secret until Wednesday
afternoon.
“I kept saying to myself,
‘You are just lucky to have
come this far,’ and 1 tried not
to get excited so that I
wouldn’t be let down,” she
remembers.

Now, as a result of her
success at states, Cathy is
preparing to go onto national
competition.
But, surprisingly enough,
she won’t be judged on her
garment at the dress revue
in Chicago. Instead, she will
be judged on a portfolio of
herself which she has
recently completed. The
portfolio will consist of
newsclippings of all her
years in 4-H, a 2000 word
essay about her 4-H ex
perience, a completed
National 4-H Report form,
and three pages of
correspondence.
“This is really a
scholorship contest,” she
explains, “so we’re not just
judged on our projects.”
Ihe scholarships the girls
in dress revue will receive
are $BOO, and will be spon
sored by Simplicity patterns.
There will be six of these
doled out to the top girls.
As far as putting her
portfolio together is con
cerned, Cathy found some
parts challenging and other
parts easy. One- that was
especially difficult for her
was remembering all her 4-H
activities from the time she
first became involved in the
program.
“I’ve been in 4-H for nine
years,” she explains. “So,
things from way back can
get a little vague.”
She began in the Lan
disville Sewing Club nine
years ago at the ripe old age
of nine. Then, a year later,
she joined the Red Rose Beef
and Sheep Club and took

reserve champion honors at
the southeastern district
show by the time she was 11
years old. She has remained
in both clubs ever since.
Last year she placed
seventh in meats judging at
Penn State during state
competition.
“I had a different feeling
during last year’s com
petition,” she says,
reflecting on the past. “This
year I had a project which I
had already done my best on
and there was little more I
could do,” she adds.
While she has excelled
with her beef projects, she is
not unfamiliar with success
in the sewing field, either.
Two years ago she was an
alternate in Lancaster
County dress revue, and,
during her senior year in
high school, she took first
place in the tailored division
for the East Petersburg
Women’s Club sewing
contest. After this success,
she went on to county
competition and took top
honors in the student tailored
division. The ensemble that
took these top awards was a
moss green-cranberry-navy
cream plaid wool jacket with
a coordinating solid moss
green A-line skirt. She also
made a purse to match.
She became involved with
this competition through her
home economics class at
high school.
“My home ec courses have
been a lot of help for me,”
Cathy admits. One of her
